December 17, 2024 Laowa Tilt/Shift 55mm F2.8 Macro Review

Tilt/Shift lenses are very complicated instruments, and Laowa has worked on making everything even more complicated by making their newest lens a macro lens, too. There’s no question that the new T/S 55mm F2.8 is big (168.55mm or 6.63″), heavy (1345g or 47.5oz), and expensive ($1249 USD), but it is also one of the fi [Read more...]

December 12, 2024 Godox AD200 Pro II Pocket Flash Review

The Godox AD200 Pro II is an update to Godox’s Popular AD200 Pro “pocket” flash that blends portability with relatively high power (200Ws output) that I reviewed in 2019.  The new MK II version has a lot of key upgrades to make the flash more versatile and more easily controllable, and comes at the same […] [Read more...]

December 9, 2024 Bluetti Handsfree 2 Portable Power Backpack Review

Portable power stations are all about getting power off grid.  But the Bluetti Handsfree 2 takes it to the next level by incorporating a 512Wh battery pack with a 700W inverter into a 60L backpack.  You can have both AC and DC power in abundance right on your back.  But, of course, big batteries aren’t […] [Read more...]

December 6, 2024 Sirui Aurora 85mm F1.4 AF Gallery

Just a few years ago, I had never reviewed a Sirui lens. I had reviewed a few tripods from the company, but I didn’t think of them as a lensmaker. They then approached me about covering a few of their cine lenses, and while that isn’t my forte, I agreed to do so out of […] [Read more...]

December 2, 2024 Yongnuo YN 33mm F1.4 DA DSM WL Pro Gallery

I’m back with another Yongnuo (YN) review. I was interested in covering their most recent lens on the strength of what I’ve seen from the 11mm F1.8 WL Pro I’ reviewed on Sony and the 50mm F1.8 DSM Pro that I reviewed on Fuji. 33mm is a very important focal length on APS-C, giving you […] [Read more...]

November 29, 2024 Neewer NW-ETZ vs Megadap ETZ21 Pro | Sony E to Nikon Z Adapter Showdown

When I first started using Sony E-mount, I was coming off a period of more than a decade where I had used the Canon EF ecosystem exclusively. It was a delight to find that there were adapters that would allow me to use my Canon lenses on my Sony camera as well. I used and […] [Read more...]
